Google Docs

Configure a workflow step that creates a Google Doc from workflow content using a connected Google account

Use Google Docs when you want a workflow step to create a new Google Doc from workflow output.

Configuration

Option	Required	Description
Name	No	Label for the step in the workflow canvas.
Integration Authorization	Yes	The connected Google account selected in Authentication.
Action	Yes	The Google Docs action. The current editor shows Create Document.
Title	Yes	Value entered in Title.
Document Text	Yes	Value entered in Document Text.
Permissions	No	Access level selected in Permissions.
When the step fails	No	Controls whether the workflow should Terminate Workflow or Continue if this step fails.
Before you configure this step, connect Google in Integrations for your workspace. If no active Google Docs connection is available, the step shows a warning with a link to Integrations.

Use the Insert Variable button next to Title and Document Text if those values should come from start inputs or earlier steps.

The Document Text field supports markdown formatting.

Output

This step stores an object that includes the created Google Doc details, including:

• document_id

• document_url

• response

Use the full output reference in later steps:

{{STEP_IDENTIFIER.output}}

To reference the created document URL directly, use a path such as:

{{step_2.output.document_url}}

Use the variable picker after a test run to confirm the exact keys available in your workflow.

Example

Open Integrations and connect Google if needed.

Add Google Docs to your workflow and pick the account in Authentication.

Keep Action set to Create Document.

Fill in Title and Document Text, inserting workflow variables where needed.

Choose Permissions based on how you want to share the document. If you set it to Public, anyone with the link can view the document.

Click Run to test the step, then open Output if you want to pass the created document URL or other response fields to a later step.

Notes

• The current editor exposes one Google Docs action: Create Document.

• Document Text supports markdown in the step editor.

• The created document URL is useful when a later step needs to share or store the document link.
